tender years, as the perpetrator. The boy
was almost soaked in blood, which he says
was on him when he was awakened by the
pistol shots. two of which, it transpires, took
effect in Mrs Bells head before she was al
most beheaded with an AK. The boys father
stoutly maintains that the boys story is true
about the tramps; that blood was thrown on
him while asleep, and that he will stand by
him to the last. There is no clew to the

Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1887-02-10

The best part of on's life is the
performance Of his daily duties. All
higher motives, ideals, conceptions,
sentiments, in man are Of no ac-
count, if they do not come down
and strengthen him for the better
discharge of the duties which de-
yolve upon him IN the ordinary
affairs of life. 1t is no trouble for
a person to do great thing that
meets with the appreciation and APP
plause of his fellows; but to be al
ways straight IN the little duties the
small demands of life, require
moral courage, a broad and
comprehensive acknowledgement of
the supreme ruler Of the universe,
an mate love of right predicated
upon a love of God and His laws,
that can only be attained hy cling
ing close to the foot of the cross.
Every one wants to do some big
thing for the cause of Christ, for
getting that, to be on the alert to
please him in the humble duties of
each day, to be charitable, just,
loving, honest, true, considerate, is
the most acceptable sacrifice, be-
cause it embraces the whole duty of
man as laid down in our spiritual
tressel- board, which is the Book of
Life, the law of Him who was when
the morning stars sang together at
creations dawn and who is to be
when the wreck of matter and the

as G. a. X. Posts are neither sectarian

This difference can be easily remedied.

remarks may, coming from me, cause

that the complaint Is justifiable on her

The above statement of facts is preg-
nent with meaning concerning the pos
perity of our city. 1t means the enlar-
mcnt of our mills, the employment OF
additional workmen, and the creation of
home demand for the wheat product Of
the county at an increased price oyer the
general market. That the Webster Min

on all sides-ii's -four "extricates the d.
lapidated linnen from of the shrubbery"
wherever it appears, and this last recor-
ded triumph over the mills in the flour
city Of the world" renders our statement
at the opening of this paragraph one OF
the posi- bilities of the near future. HUI
rah for the Webster Roller Mill Co.-your
success means the growth and prosperity
of Webster go in, git there~ we'll hold

Chattel Mortgages.

The poor fellow who gives a chattel
mortgage, gives it because he needs the
money. He rs willing to pay good in
terest and is usually accommodated in
.his extent. If the poor man is not able
to pay the interest when it comes due,
nor the principal either, and the loan
agent is forced TO sell the property. as ne
has right TO do, then certainly the inn
poverished borrower needs all the money
ne can get out of the sale. 1t is very sell
dom that chattel mortgage equals the
real value of the goods. Frequently the
mor.gaged property is worth several times
the amount Of the mortgage, but how
little is left for the borrower after the
sale. The money loaner is satisfied TO
get his due and that is about az far as he
takes any interest in the matter. yerv
few men attend a mortgage sale Why?
Because il is only the lounger about the
side streets and alleys who knows any
thing about the sale The notices are po-
sted by the sheriff all right enough, but
days wind or storm comes and the no.
tees are all gone. The day ofthe sale ar
riyes and the lawyer, the money loaners
and the sheriff are there. That's all.
Property worth say 500 or 500 and ex-
penses OF the sale. No one knew of the
sale. Neighbors might have been glad
TO have paid four or five times the am
cunt realized, if they had only known
about the sale. Nearly all intelligent
farmers take and read their county paper
The notice of chattel mortgage sale
ought always to appear in print--where
the sum loaned amounts to over $50.
The moaey loaner ought not oppose il,
for he gets his money just the ssme-and
surer--and the debtor, instead. of los
ing, would get the advantage Of eompet-
ing bids AND nine times out often realize
something besides liqnidating a debt,
whereas, under the present law this is an
exception. The Law in relation to chat
tel mortgages should be speedily changed.
The notices should be published in news
papers circulating among readers most
likely 10 purchase the articles offered for
sale. This is not a selfish desire on the
part Of the newspapers for the small fees
there would be IN it for them, but in the
Interest Of justice to the disappointed
and unfortunate debtor.-Bismark Tri
bune.
